Guidance from UMC Discipleship Ministries

Weekly Worship Planning Series
This is the First of a 9 service Worship Series from the Discipleship Ministries.
The graphics at the top of this page list the topics for the worship services of the Series.
(Click on another graphic to see that service's resource page.)

Note: This material from UDM is not the basis for Bethel's After Pentecost season messages
but is provided here for your personal study and reflection.

Although Bethel's online services will be "on vacation" for the remainder of July, clicking on any of the graphics at the top of this page will take you to a "Resource Page" that will provide access to the UMC Discipleship Ministries guidance materials for that week in this 9 session "summer journey with the holy ones of God as our traveling companions". So you can use this as an "independent study" of the wisdom of these Bible Prophets.

Worship Series: "Prophet Margins"
from UMC Discipleship Ministries
What might we learn if we took the risk to listen? If we took the risk to let these holy ones of God become our traveling companions on our summer journey? We might be troubled, and we will be, but we might also be lifted up. We might be challenged, but we might find reasons for hope, or we might find a renewed vision that inspires us for all the journeys we make. So, what do you say? Are you up for a journey this summer, a journey to the edge of our faith? Then you’re ready for “Prophet Margins.”

This Week's Theme: "Wash and Be Cleaned"
Liturgical Resources
Our text is about obedience and about submitting to authority, but it is also about recognizing the voice of God in the voices of others. Naaman had little reason to listen to Elisha, except that he listened to the voice of the refugee girl whom he made a servant in his house. What does it take to hear the voice of God? To whom do we listen?
